Sugar Factory Playhouse
West Jordan, Utah
After the city bowery was demolished to make way for a new fire station, West Jordan Theater Arts opened the 230-seat Sugar Factory Playhouse in the city's old sugar factory. Inspired by Trolley Square, the West Jordan City Council planned to renovate the sugar factory and turn it into a cultural arts center with a larger auditorium, amphitheater, art gallery, conference center, reception hall, and retail center. Expensive seismic upgrades eventually doomed the project and the sugar factory was demolished by the end of 2010.

Salt Lake Herald, 4 October 1908, page 9
The Happy Hour theatre, on State street, was the point of interest for a very enjoyable theatre party one night the first of the week. The party was composed of a number of college boys attending school at Salt Lake. The bill was immensely enjoyed, after which they repaired to the home of the host and an elaborate lunch was eaten.
